baby journal

As part of my attempted commitment to stay in touch with my art over the last period of my pregnancy and the early stages of the baby, I decided to do something that I find very difficult at the best of times: stick to a routine. Well, to be precise I decided to write and take a photo every day in relation to the changes happening in my mind and body around the baby. I have a journal and from 35 weeks pregnant and for the first weeks of the babies life this is my aim. It doesn't take long to do, some times it's just a line of quick thought and a quick snap.

Here is the image and the line from 37 weeks and two days pregnant

I fluctuate between feeling ready
and
feeling overwhelmed
the idea of the birth
and breast feeding
and
nappies
and sleeplessness
is all so much
